[SE] mud-ify your expectations

I didn't come here to make friends
We were born to be suburban legends

Not me forgetting where we were, oops.

Aithne's attention is focused on some moving speck in the distance, so she misses the wrinkling of Mel's nose that might betray some dislike of the Grounds and, therefore, draw out more questions. "Mmhmm," she hums noncommittally, not turning her attention back to the demigod until she'd determined that the movement belonged to some bird or other taking flight.

Then she shrugs, all casual-like, dark eyes the only thing about her countenance that betrays the depths of her wanderlust. "Just exploring," she says. "I may want to settle in the Grounds, but that doesn't mean I never want to leave, you know?" Growing up with restrictive parents and a more restrictive lifestyle will do that do you, she supposes. "So I just sort of hop on a skyship every now and then and end up wherever the wind takes us. Except Halo - gotta stay away from the cold, you know."

When you hold me, it holds me together
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
